Have you noticed how much adults love talking about their summer camp experiences and how it affected their lives? I am a camp advisor who helps families find the best sleep away camp for their child. As I speak with parents, they fondly remember their own overnight camp experiences and love to reminisce. While on a radio talk show, a caller said she became the person she is at camp. At a dinner party, I once spoke to two senior citizens who had met at summer camp, become friends and practiced law together for 45 years. One of my tennis partners came to the US on a teen study abroad program as a 16 year old. Many years later he returned as the Ambassador from his country to the United States. Who will ever forget color war, the last night of camp or camp songs we sang? Former campers love to know that their camp still exists and that current campers feel as sentimental as they did. Summer camps and teen experiences may not be the typical Washington political discussion but it is something everyone loves to talk about. Share with us your memories about a summer camp or teen travel experience.
